Charlie London ‘25 Joins Elite Ranks of Morehead-Cain Scholars

Boys’ Latin senior Charlie London has been named a Morehead-Cain Scholar, earning one of the most prestigious scholarships in the country. The Morehead-Cain Scholarship provides a complete four-year scholarship to the University of North Carolina to select students from around the country and the world. In addition, Morehead-Cain Scholars are given four summers of travel and experiential learning. All of this is designed to empower dynamic, purpose-driven leaders of the future. This year’s group of 75 Scholars comes from six countries, including the United States, and has a widely-varied field of interests. The scholarship recognizes “students who demonstrate leadership, academic excellence, moral character, and physical vigor.”

Charlie London certainly fits that description. A well-rounded student, he is president of the student body at Boys’ Latin, serves on the honor board and captains both the math and varsity tennis teams. Charlie is an eloquent spokesperson for his School, and a strong leader academically, athletically, and in service to both the School and his community. The three-sport athlete is active in the One Love and Jewish Awareness Clubs and founded the Investment Society. 

Charlie has taken full advantage of all the opportunities available to him. As a Williams Scholar, he took an online course at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School called “Future of the Business World,” which gave students the opportunity to make decisions about fictional companies.  Selected as a participant in the Ben Cardin Jewish Scholars Program, he gained lobbying experience in Washington. 

Charlie is active with Leveling the Playing Field, a group which holds sports equipment drives to provide much-needed equipment for underserved youth in Baltimore. As an intern with Collars & Co., he launched an initiative to donate clothing to the Baltimore community.  And, he founded a power-washing business.

The 2025 recipient of Boys’ Latin’s Boyd F. Winkelblech Award for Mathematics, Charlie plans to use the scholarship to study math and business. He will, in the words of the Morehead-Cain announcement, “join a thriving cohort of thinkers, leaders, creators, and adventurers at UNC-Chapel Hill, empowered by the Morehead-Cain Program to set their potential free.”
